Against all odds, he'd somehow found himself stuck between a criminal psycho, Naval Intelligence, and a drop-dead gorgeous skipper who actually liked him. He'd even pulled a regular Prince Charming and saved a damsel in distress.

Enter the Four Horsemen universe, where only a willingness to fight and die for money separates humans from the majority of the other races. Enter a galaxy not only of mercenaries, but also of aliens, hired assassins, and accountants. Accountants?

To protect their world, Sidonia's royalty rush seventeen-year-old Princess Cosima into an arranged marriage, one that will guarantee a treaty and shield Sidonia from Aquitaine's clutches.

Their foresight and unique talents set the stage not only for the long-haul shipping company of the present day, but of something else.

In the Galactic Union, few Human corporations are as storied or as well-known as the Intergalactic Haulers. But the Haulers are no more—victims of Peepo and her minions at the start of the Omega War.

Only a fool would target the deadliest order of assassins in the galaxy. The galaxy had no shortage of fools. Someone had attacked the Order, and done so with both blades and magic. It was utterly unheard of, but even the most elite of killers sometimes faced the unexpected, and on this occasion, that could even mean their demise. That is, unless they could get to the bottom of the nefarious plot.

Mara Pappus, a 23rd century petty officer third class, is in trouble—and she knows it. After locking herself in a tool room when the science vessel Vitus is attacked suddenly by an unknown vessel with advanced weaponry, she hears knocking SOS signals coming from somewhere on the ship. Knowing she will have to don an EVA suit and go look for other survivors, she learns she is in a race against time on a dying ship with limited power. She will have to save not only herself, but also her crew.

Underestimating an opponent is a common mistake made by people wielding power. And when the most elite sect of assassins are involved, that blunder could prove to be a particularly fatal one. In times of subterfuge and plotting, though, it is clear they are not the only ones with tricks up their sleeves, and sometimes death is a two-way street.

Hozark may have survived countless attempts on not only his own life but the lives of his friends and colleagues, but it had come at a cost.

A debt had been called in, and the code dictated it must be repaid, even if the timing did happen to be incredibly poor.
